Chapter 77: Invitation

Go to the Mountain God Temple again.

That was what Mu Bai thought, but she also knew that this time’s enemy strength was not something the Hemp-Clothed Fierce Ghost could compare to.

Therefore, she had to make thorough preparations.

Even if limited by too few methods and unable to cover everything, she at least had to go all out.

Just as she was about to speak, Mu Bai suddenly realized something obvious.

She didn’t even know the little girl’s name yet.

“What’s your name?”

“My surname is Li. You can call me Xiao Wei, sister.”

“Xiao Wei, are you willing to contribute your own strength to the town?” Mu Bai extended her hand.

“…Can I say no?”

Xiao Wei instinctively didn’t want to take risks.

“If we continue to let the filthy things fester, the culprit that caused the town to become like this will grow stronger and stronger, eventually becoming impossible to deal with. You don’t want the town to become a living hell, do you?”

Mu Bai said seriously.

She deliberately made her words sound grave.

For a little girl of this age, applying a bit of moral pressure and exaggerating the consequences a little made her very easy to handle.

‘Yikes, I feel so evil.’

But there was no other way.

Who asked this Supernatural Site to be so difficult this time, forcing her to resort to such underhanded tactics.

“But I don’t want to make my grandmother worry.”

Xiao Wei was clearly wavering.

“If you agree, we’ll come to pick you up secretly in the middle of the night. You won’t be discovered… Remember to bring your protective pendant, and Xiao Huang.”

Mu Bai instructed.

The purpose of bringing Xiao Wei was for the props and the little yellow dog, Xiao Huang.

Although their specific uses weren’t clear, the wooden sword pendant and the little dog seemed very crucial.

There had to be a reason for it.

A Level 3 Supernatural Site wouldn’t even let them confront a Fierce Ghost head-on.

This time, even though it was Level 5, the final boss’s strength was also several times higher.

If it were the Hemp-Clothed Fierce Ghost, it could only trap the people of one village, preventing them from escaping.

How could it be like this Mountain God, capable of turning the entire town’s night into a domain for ghosts…

This was a town inhabited by hundreds of households!

Therefore, the existence of the props and Xiao Huang was meant to lower the difficulty for them!

As for why they absolutely had to bring the little girl…

The wooden sword pendant was one thing, but Xiao Huang only listened to Xiao Wei.

Making Xiao Wei take the risk was also unavoidable.

If they only took the dog, they might even be seen as enemies by Xiao Huang.

In short, if they could survive, they would do their best to protect Xiao Wei.

“I understand. I’m willing to protect the town with you!”

Xiao Wei said firmly.

Mu Bai was moved.

See, what a good child!

“We’ll leave first. We’ll come find you at midnight!”

Mu Bai waved and left with her teammates.

The reason they weren’t going to the Mountain God Temple now to wait until night was because Mu Bai didn’t want to take the risk.

Locking themselves in the boss room at the start was the dumbest move.

In comparison, the minor monsters in the town could be easily handled by Ye Qi and Tang Shifu.

They could approach the Mountain God Temple bit by bit, and even if they encountered danger, they’d have room to escape.

Mu Bai still had that much caution.

Before Xiao Wei’s grandmother returned, Mu Bai and the others left the place and headed towards the house where they had stayed overnight yesterday.

The four returned to their temporary base and quickly settled dinner.

Since they had a big battle in the latter half of the night, the first half was for resting, seizing every minute and second.

Mu Bai originally planned to do as yesterday, taking shifts with Ye Qi, sleeping in two groups.

But when she symbolically asked Mo Cha and the others for their opinion, she met with Mo Cha’s objection.

“I consumed a lot of mental power not long ago. Ordinary rest might not be very effective. Since Little Mu Bai has the [Power Bank Constitution], it should be used properly, on the person who needs it.”

Mo Cha said so.

Ye Qi, being the first to know Mu Bai, got to be close to her every day.

Tang Shifu had also enjoyed a ‘charge’ during the last Supernatural Site.

What one worries about is not scarcity but uneven distribution.

In the end, she was the only one who hadn’t been close to Little Mu Bai.

This was something Mo Cha simply couldn’t tolerate.

Seizing this hard-won opportunity, Mo Cha made her request.

“How much did you consume?”

Ye Qi asked before Mu Bai could respond.

“Half.”

That’s what Mo Cha said, but she didn’t conveniently pull up her status window to show it.

They were inseparable teammates now.

If they didn’t even have this basic trust, the team would fall apart sooner or later.

Mo Cha was precisely banking on this point to dare use this reason.

Even if Ye Qi didn’t care about the team, Mu Bai cared a lot.

The other party had to care about Mu Bai, right?

It was up to Mu Bai to decide.

“Alright, alright, Ye Tong, don’t I sleep with you every day… Chacha is right. My talent is for those who need it.”

Seeing that the two hadn’t started arguing, Mu Bai secretly sighed in relief.

Then she felt a bit annoyed.

What was Mo Cha doing?

If she wanted to use her talent to recover energy, it wasn’t impossible.

Why did she have to use this confrontational way to communicate with Ye Qi?

And Ye Qi too.

She hadn’t even settled the score for what she did to her before, and now she was getting jealous again?

One after another, they gave her a headache.

Being this Power Bank was so difficult.

Tang Shifu blinked, feeling the atmosphere had become inexplicably off.

Not understanding why, but to ease the tension, she proactively offered to take the first watch and sleep during the later shift.

Mu Bai nodded silently, finally feeling a trace of relief.

‘Shifu is still the most reliable one.’

To fully utilize the effects of the [Power Bank Constitution], Mu Bai found a cushion to spread on the wooden sofa, treating it as a mattress.

She sat on it, patted it, and gestured for Mo Cha to lie down with her.

Invitation jpg.

Mo Cha: “…”

‘Little Mu Bai, do you know you look very tempting like this? It’s practically seduction!’

“Come on. Just hold me.”

Mu Bai lay down on the inside first, opening her arms.

In the dim room, Mu Bai suddenly felt the girl in front of her lean close.

The ends of her long hair fell on Mu Bai’s face and neck, tickling her.

A familiar fragrance wafted over.

It was exactly the same scent as when she passed by Mo Cha on the night they teamed up, right after Mo Cha had finished bathing and was wearing a robe.

‘Shampoo…?’

‘Doesn’t seem like it.’

Mu Bai slept with Ye Qi every day, so of course she knew the difference between the scent of shampoo and body wash and the unique scent on a girl.

But Mo Cha’s was completely different.

Before her thoughts could settle, the person beside her also lay down on her side.

The embrace was warm and soft.

Mu Bai couldn’t help but recall Mo Cha’s teasing from last time.

Her ears were already starting to heat up.

She always felt that Mo Cha also had an indescribable sense of closeness towards her.

This feeling didn’t seem like just that of teammates or friends; it was completely different from how Mo Cha interacted with Tang Shifu.

However, compared to Ye Qi’s hugs, Mu Bai felt more at ease with Mo Cha.

This hug was to maximize the use of the Power Bank.

It was much purer.

Not far away, by the door, Ye Qi stood with her arms crossed, eyes closed, leaning against the wall.

As if resting her mind.

Tang Shifu sighed helplessly.

Now she was the only one left standing in the shadows.

She really didn’t understand what these people were being so awkward about.
